    Exclude content ID from siteMap

    Hello.

    I'm trying to make a siteMap, sort of in my own way. I know there are other ways to do this, but I'd like to try this way.

    My site is as follows

    Masterpage

    Index

    About

    Name 1

    Name 2

    Contact

    Something else

    Something else

    I would like to exclude Name 1 and 2.

    I have the ID's of the Contents that I want excluded, but I can't loop through them. I've tried this:

    var siteMap = Umbraco.Content(1064);

    foreach(var site in siteMap.Children.Where("Visible"))
    {
        var excludesId = "1174,1175,1176,1178,1180,1181,1182,1183,1184,1185,1186,1187"; 
        <a href="@site.Url">@site.Name</a>
            <br>
            foreach(var child in site.Descendants().Where(x => !x.Id.ToString().CsvContains(excludesId)))
            {
            <a href="@child.Url">@child.Name</a><br>
            }
    }
}

    But it spews an error because of the lambda expression.

    Any suggestions?

    Hi Pedman,

    There are a few options available to you.

    1) Instead of having excludesId as a string you could try having it as an array/list.

     var excludesId = "1174,1175,1176,1178,1180,1181,1182,1183,1184,1185,1186,1187".Split(',');

    Then you could do:

      .Where(x =>  excludesId.All( id=> id != x.Id.ToString()))

    2) Alternatively, you could add a checkbox property to your documents and call it "exclude from sitemap"

    Then you don't have to have a hard coded list, instead you could do:

     .Where(x=> !x.GetPropertyValue<bool>("excludeFromSitemap"))

    The latter would be a much more flexible approach :-)

    var siteMap = Umbraco.Content(1064);

    foreach(var site in siteMap.Children.Where("Visible"))
{
    var excludesId = "1174,1175,1176,1178,1180,1181,1182,1183,1184,1185,1186,1187".Split(',');
    <a href="@site.Url">@site.Name</a>
        <br>
        foreach(var child in site.Descendants().Where(x=> !x.GetPropertyValue<bool>("excludeFromSiteMap")))
        {
        <a href="@child.Url">@child.Name</a><br>
        }
}

    Throws the same error ("Cannot use a lambda expression as an argument to a dynamically dispatched operation"). I have made a checkbox on the ID's I want excluded, checked those that I want excluded, but still gives me this error.

    Thanks a ton for helping me

    Ahh, okay.

    So, personally I am not a fan of dynamic content. If I can I try and use typed content as I prefer it.

    I would change the line where you are getting your siteMap to this:

    var siteMap = Umbraco.TypedContent(1064);

    This might resolve the issue relating to dynamics.
